Invent Money is a Fintech SuperApp for the ‘Internet Earner’ to Make Money and Build Wealth Online
DENVER–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Today, The Invention Network launched as a new type of holding network that builds companies in the world’s largest, most extractive markets and pays 50% of its revenue directly to its contributors. Founded by six-time founder Alan Curtis and with initial backers including Ted Breyer, Partner at Breyer Capital; Jerry Yang, Co-Founder of Yahoo; Anne Wojcicki, Founder of 23andMe; Joe Dowling, Global Head of Multi-Asset Investing at Blackstone; and founders of Circle, OpenSea, and EigenLayer, The Invention Network is on a mission to invent new business models to align incentives for all contributors and take market share from exploitative incumbents.
“The human drive to come together, to build, and to solve hard problems lives within us all, but not everyone has the resources to act on it. We started The Invention Network to help the underdog thrive, unleashing human potential and empowering the most ambitious people in the world,” said Alan Curtis, Founder and CEO of The Invention Network. “We believe that everyone who creates value should capture value. Not just investors. Not just employees. Everyone. We call this Contribution Capitalism – we’re rewriting the playbook, ensuring we bet on users and split the upside.”
Invent Money
Invent Money is a fintech superapp designed to help people earn money and build wealth online.
The platform serves a rapidly growing market of more than 500 million “Internet Earners” — individuals whose primary income comes from content creation, task completion, and gig work across hundreds of online platforms. This “internet labor market” represents trillions of dollars in economic activity and is growing more than 20% annually, yet remains underserved by incumbent platforms that capture outsized portions of user earnings while offering no ownership or wealth-building tools in return.
Invent Money addresses this gap through four core features:
- $INVENT Tokens: Users earn these programmable digital assets by contributing to and participating in the network growth – winning competitions, completing missions, or recruiting new inventors. For every dollar Invent Money generates, at least 50% is paid out in cash (USD) to $INVENT holders (not points or store credit).
- Competitions: Fair, skill-based challenges solving real-world problems spanning categories such as invention, prediction, and user-generated content, with prizes ranging from $1,000 to $100,000+, scored and ranked using AI.
- Missions: Curated earning opportunities aggregated from across the internet, including paid tasks across categories like research, content, micro-work, gaming, and software, vetted for quality, safety, and payout.
- Wealth: An integrated financial tool that helps earners save, invest, and compound their income over time, with support for both app earnings and external assets.
